Sweet Potatoes and Yams

When it comes to diabetes, the sweet potato is a very wise choice. Sweet potatoes are a low glycemic index (GI) food. Low GI foods release glucose slowly into the bloodstream, helping avoid spikes in blood sugar levels — an important factor in managing diabetes. These diabetic-friendly recipes feature sweet potatoes and yams, including Thanksgiving favorites like Candied Yams.
